Able is now participating in the "Grow Me the Money" initiative, which is run by VECCI and the EPA and receives financial support from the Victorian State Government.

The program aims to promote environmental sustainability by assisting firms to plan and implement measures that will reduce their environmntal impact and in many cases increase their differentiation in the market.

In this article, Climate Change and its impact on Melbourne's Port Phillip Bay is discussed. Hewlett Packard, Mercedes Benz, Able Plastics and Goldman Sachs are noted as organisations who are taking responsibility for their carbon emissions.

The not for profit carbon offset and education organisation,Climate Positive, yesterday arranged another tree planting at Balook, in Gippslands' Strzelecki Ranges.

The trees, planted on privately owned land, are now protected forever via a voluntary conservation covenant set up in accordance with the Victorian Conservation Trust Act.

For hundreds of years into the future the planted trees and shrubs have a good chance of restoring themselves into a cool climate rainforest. Some of the trees in the surrounding area are up to 700 years old.

It was great to take part in such a worthwhile project and at the same time it was an enjoyable day with plenty of banter amongst the hard core and social planters.

Congratulations to Climate Positive, the land owner and of course to the tree planters.

Last week we attended a "Business And The Environment " breakfast at Carlton's Leicester St green Building. The list of speakers included representatives from BP, Environment Victoria and Fishprint, a carbon neutral printing company. This quote from Governor Schwarzenegger was cited.....

“Politics plays a big part in the tipping point here. If you are against taking action on greenhouse gases and common emissions your political base will melt away as surely as the polar icecaps, I can guarantee you that. You will become a political penguin on a smaller and smaller ice floe that is drifting out to sea.
